I wouldn't suggest it. Kids will be kids and fall all over the bouncer. Falling on the grass outside is a lot nicer than falling on furniture/wood flooring inside. Plus the fan is going to be pretty load. In this weather let them keep their shoes on and use it outside. Hope that helps.

Have you checked the dimensions? It's pretty large. Also, there are stakes to hold it down to the ground outdoors for safety. If you were to put it indoors, would it be far enough away from walls, ceiling fans, light fixtures, etc. and would there be enough room for kids to utilize the slide? You also have to take into account the length of the tube that connects to the blower. In conclusion, I would say putting it indoors is NOT a good idea.

This question is older but in case the original poster or someone else still wants an answer: Yes, you can set it up outside in the winter. I would recommend putting a tarp under it to keep the bottom dry. Don't leave it out to get damp. If it does get damp / wet, set it up in your garage or similar covered area and run it till it is dry. You do not want to fold it up and put it away with it being damp. Also, I know this may be obvious, but don't set it up and run it in the rain.

I do apologize this is made to be placed indoors. We can not guarantee it will hold up in a room that outside climate can get to it.

Aside from it killing your grass if you leave it out on the lawn anything left outside all the time will wear out faster. Can you leave it out? Yes. Will that drastically shorten the lifespan of the bounce house? Yes

I have it in my basement. My three kids (age 2, 5, and 7) can all bounce without hitting ceiling. It is not a high ceiling (standard ceiling height). It is awesome because we live in AK and my kids get on it everyday. My 7 yr old will probably be too tall to bounce in house next year.

I'm using indoors. I'm sure heat would be ok, not sure about freezing temps.

we had it inside originally but it really is too big even for a large basement family room. We deflated it to move it outside and then re inflated. It's been used outside on yard grass and snow with no problems. It's been outside for three weeks now (25 degrees - 45 degree average temp) and has also remained inflated.

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps.My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

I would think the tent looking house would be better. I have one heated tent and one igloo house. The igloo house to me stays warmer. In both house I have the heated pads.

I'm using mine on a patio as a slide in under an outdoor kitchen cabinet. Make sure you have about 4 inches around for air flow. This unit has the condenser built in the left and right sides and dissipats the heat unlike a fan blowing air across the condenser on your home frig. What I did do is take the 1/2 inch shipping foam that was in the box and duct tape it to the back and top to help insulate the box a little. Just dont cover any part of the outside that feels warm after it's plugged in. Here is something I want to warn you about but is no big deal. When the box is cold and say you go to get a drink out of it. After you close the door it forms a tight vacuum and makes the door almost impossible to open unless you wait 3 or 4 min. I do HVAC repair and have have seen this same thing happen on walk-in coolers trapping people. You need to make a way for the vacuum to be relieved. What I did was take a 2 inch piece of thermostat wire (this wire is about 1/2 the size of a cloths hanger) tapped it the top and bent it over to go between the refrigerator box and the door gasket. This little wire will allow the vacuum inside to equalize and you can open the door within 15 to 20 seconds and it wont bother the temperature. Buy the way this frig can freeze a bottle of pop if you set it to cold. My control is setting around 5 O'clock and running around 32 degrees. I leave it outside but unplug it in the winter. Good Luck

I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.

I had the same question as my dogs stay outside during the winter in inulated doghouses but am constantly having to fill their heated water bowls. Unfortunately, according to the Drinkwell site: "...this durable fountain can be placed inside the home or outdoors when temperatures are above 40°F." so doesn;t look like they hold much faith in the fountain's ability to move the water around enough to prevent freezing anywhere close to 32F. :(http://store.petfountain.com/drinkwell-outdoor-dog-fountain

yes, just make sure the temp difference between outside and inside isn't great. Like is shouldn't be freezing outside

Yes, I think it would work nicely. The kids wouldn't be able to hit the ball too high, so consider the height of your ceiling. We've chosen to use water for the base instead of sand since the base is the box that holds all the Swingball parts when finished playing. I don't know how 'northern' your state is but I would say that unless the temp/wind chill is very cold, they should be able to enjoy it outdoors most any time of the year.

depending on how many kids you have and how aggressive they are with their bouncing you may not need anything. I know when we first set ours up outside we did not anchor it to the ground at all (although it is recommended) after a couple hours of bouncing we noticed it started to shift from the original position, but that was after the bigger kids got in on it, when it was just he littles (5 and under) they didn't seem to effect the position of the bounce house at all. If your kiddos are small and there are only a couple you could probably get away with no sandbags, if they are older, bigger and more aggressive then you will definitely need something to anchor it down. depending on how many kids you have and how aggressive they are with their bouncing you may not need anything.

I would say that depends on your local weather. If it may freeze, I'd recommend a pot so you can pull it inside over the coldest months.

we use ours inside the home. I don't think that it would hold up to temperature fluctuations or rain/snow very well.
